But the media can make a difference, and so can cultural norms. I read a piece a while back about the experience of a TV outfit in South Africa crafting content intended for the native audience, who discovered that various things weren't universal. For instance, if a character left a place via a door, they couldn't just jump cut to the same character coming into another place through a different door. They had to explicitly depict the intervening travel, or the audience didn't get it. Western audiences, raised in film and TV, are familiar with the conventions and automatically interpolate stuff not explicitly depicted because they know it had to happen. The native SA audience was a different matter. ______ Dennis |

Isn't life strange...
I last worked professionally 2 years ago - (minus 7 days). During that time period. I had one face to face interview and two long distance phone interviews. No results. I shipped out around 600 resumes. Towards the end, friends looked funny at me because I couldn't get a job. 2 1/2 weeks ago, I got submitted to a job for with a former boss, who hadn't hired a contractor in over 3 years. Wham, Bam, I got a job with good pay. (I start Monday...) Since then I have been contacted by 5 recruiters, and a company from my former hometown just requested an interview, tomorrow at 9:30 AM local. Crazy. (My unemployment ran out in April. Undoubtable some Wall Street Journal type would say I didn't get serious until my unemployment ran out, when nothing on my part changed in 2 years.) This isn't a rant, I just shaking my head. How could I be so worthless 2 months ago and so in demand now.... |

It is an absolute masterpiece (7.0 on IMDB). Your point is quite well illustrated in a very light heart. It tells about the encounter of a Bushman with a Coke bottle and all that follows. Get plenty of tissues because you will laugh to exhaustion. Won the Montréal World Film Festival. |

psssss: I pretend to be with the rest of the gang, but if ever they catch you I will take you out of danger, hide you until they are gone and then we will have a great time drinking ourselves silly. That's just for a start. Then Pizzas, then nice cigarillos, then a little more booze, then we will go out chasing cichitas. Eh?
it's a French Canadian Expression, ratte is the spleen. Means that ithat rain s hurting my nerves. |

Sorry about the mistranslation - Google said ratte was rat. Makes more sense now! Although I did enjoy the mental image of a sodden rodent glaring at the sky! ![]() |
